Frontier Communications looking to expand broadband

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Frontier Communications, seeking to expand broadband services within West Virginia, has applied for $28.9 million as part of an FCC’s “Connect America Fund.”

The money, projected to expand broadband to more than 47,000 locations in the state, follows last year’s request by Frontier that brought in more than $34 million to deploy broadband to more than 43,000 high-cost locations in the Mountain State by 2015.

The Federal Communication Commission’s decision on funding is expected to come in a few weeks.
